The dazzling sword light poured and crisscrossed the courtyard.
Ten seconds later.
The sword fell silent.
Shingetsu Izumo stood there dumbfounded, speechless.
In his mind, the ethereal sword light was like a captivating dream, drawing him in and making it impossible for him to escape its allure.
Great.
Amazing!
He didn't know how to describe it in words.
The crisscrossing swords resembled the light of the sky and the shadow of the moon, while the nimble, dancing figure was like a celestial being descending to earth.
He sensed a power beyond his comprehension.
Of course, it was also beyond his understanding of perfection.
He didn't know why his swordsmanship could be so perfect.
Having studied at the Ninja Academy for so long, he had never seen any taijutsu, swordsmanship, or ninjutsu that could give him such an amazing and captivating feeling.
If the other person wasn't his own brother, he would even suspect that it wasn't swordsmanship, but rather a mind-altering illusion.
After a long while, his parched throat made him subconsciously swallow his saliva.
He came to his senses.
He turned his stiff neck and looked at his older brother, who was standing with his sword sheathed, and said in a dry voice.
"elder brother."
"Brother~"
"Can I learn it?"
Shenyue Xingyun smiled.
He took two steps forward and patted the other person on the shoulder.
"sure."
"However, one must practice swordsmanship slowly, walk the road step by step, and eat food one bite at a time."
"But have you thought it through? Do you really want to learn swordsmanship?"
"Of course!" Izumo Kamitsu nodded repeatedly without hesitation.
I want to learn!
I really want to learn!
He believed that any ninja who hadn't graduated would be incredibly eager to learn such breathtaking swordsmanship after witnessing it.
Shenyue Xingyun nodded gently: "Since you want to learn, I will teach you."
"However, there are two things you need to remember."
Izumo asked, "Which two points?"
Shenyue Xingyun held up one finger: "First, don't be in a hurry to show off."
"While swordsmanship is incredibly powerful, it often comes with greater danger when facing an enemy."
"Teaching you swordsmanship is only to give you another means of survival and improve your strength, not to encourage you to be reckless and aggressive. In real combat, try to avoid taking risks if you can resolve the situation from a distance using ninjutsu."
"The second key point is that swordsmanship requires hard work."
"The Immortal Style is too far removed from your abilities, and the Wind Chasing and Moon Chasing Style is not something you can master immediately. If you want to learn swordsmanship well, start by practicing the Leaf Leaf Style."
Take it slow; you can't get fat in one bite.
Izumo Kamizuki had a question in his mind.
Hard work?
When did you download it?
How come I never noticed?
Shenyue Xingyun could tell what his little brother was thinking just by looking into his eyes.
He gently patted the other person's head and said, "Don't overthink it."
"Cultivation is a personal matter."
"You can't possibly compare to a genius like me."
"It would be good enough if we could surpass most of our peers."
Izumo Kamitsu: "—"
Shenyue Xingyun: "It's a bit late today, let's start tomorrow morning."
"I will teach you swordsmanship."
"As the head of the Shingetsu family, it's time for me to shoulder the family's responsibilities."
Shingetsu Izumo: "—

The following morning, Konoha held a public commendation ceremony.
To motivate the village's young people, the ninja promotion ceremony, which was originally scheduled to take place at the Hokage Building, was also held in public.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, as the Third Hokage, personally presided over the ceremony, recognizing and distributing equipment to the newly promoted ninjas.
He personally presided over the ceremonies for not only ninjas promoted to Jonin, but also those promoted to Chunin, handing them brand-new ninja equipment with a gratified smile on his aged face.
He encouraged them one by one, saying, "Well done."
"Konoha owes its current state to everyone who has worked hard and dedicated themselves to the village; it's all thanks to you."
"come on."
"As long as you are here, Konoha will surely have a bright and beautiful tomorrow."
The encouraged ninjas were all invigorated and made firm statements.
Shenyue Xingyun moved her facial muscles, preparing herself for excitement.
When Chunin were being honored, the onlookers were relatively quiet. It was only when Hiruzen Sarutobi was being honored for his promotion to Jonin that the crowd below became excited.
Chunin are too ordinary and not conspicuous in war. Only Jonin, especially young Jonin, are likely to become famous figures in the ninja world.
"Look! Brother Nebula!"
"It's the Shingetsu Nebula!"
"You should call him Nebula Jonin!"
"So cool! I can't believe that Brother Xingyun is already a Jonin at such a young age!"
"More than that, the Jonin from the Nebula clan has already made a name for himself in the great war. I've heard he's called the 'Leaf Demon Star,' and even Jonin from other ninja villages don't dare to face him easily."
"The Leaf Village's Demon Star? Why did you give Brother Xingyun such an awful name?"
"He's clearly not good enough for Nebula-nii's charm~ If you ask me—he should be called Konoha's God!"
"No, no, it should be called the Moon Goddess of the Ninja World!"
"You guys are all talking nonsense. The title is given by others, you can't choose it yourself. But it's okay! After I graduate, I'll be a Chunin for one year and a Jonin for two years, and then I'll team up with Brother Xingyun! Maybe we can even get a double title. I don't need my name in the title, just 'Star Moon Couple' will do."
"He~Tui!"
The female ninjas and female students below were chattering noisily.
The men nearby looked disgusted, but dared not argue with the crazy women. They could only move away to get some peace and quiet.
The noisy noise was even heard by Hiruzen Sarutobi.
However, he did not react.
Listening to the women's praises from below the stage, he looked at the young Jonin who was like a beautiful sight before him and vaguely saw a reflection of his own youth.
"Child, you are very good." Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled kindly.
He handed the Jonin's equipment, along with the medals that represented his status, to Shingetsu Seiun, his eyes full of approval.
"Konoha Demon Star"—a very impressive title.
"I hope that in the future, your starlight will illuminate the village and shine brightly in the ninja world."
Shen Yue Xingyun accepted the equipment with both hands and said solemnly, "Don't worry, Hokage-sama!"
"I'm already prepared to burn the village down!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed even more heartily.
offstage.
Amidst the jubilant and excited group of girls, a tall woman stood quietly, her face expressionless, trying her best to suppress the resentment and jealousy in her eyes.
Honjo Aya.
She was also among those being honored, but she was one of the previous batch of Chunin promoted.
Looking at the dazzling Divine Moon Nebula on the awards platform, she gritted her teeth in secret.
Why?!
"How is that possible!"
How could that good-for-nothing from back then possibly become a Jonin!
Honjo Aya's mind was in turmoil.
She is developing steadily according to the path she has set for herself.
Go to the front lines, earn merit, and get promoted.
Everything is going smooth.
Logically, she should have been happy and satisfied—if that person hadn't been on the awards stage!
Compared to the other party, everything I have done, the merits I have made, and the achievements I have made have become insignificant.
Does a guy who can't even graduate deserve to break up with me?
I'm the one who dumped you!
The words she had spoken back then still seemed to echo in her ears, but in the blink of an eye, only a few years had passed, and the other person had become a Jonin even faster than her!
She can't accept it!
